9 The Last Airbender $4.17M
10 Predators $2.85M
In a showdown of adult-themed thrillers, Christopher Nolan's trippy caper "Inception" took the top spot at the box office for a second straight weekend, beating out Angelina Jolie's return to action in "Salt."
Clearly "Inception" is a film people are talking about which is encouraging newcomers and second viewings. "Salt" is essentially Jolie as a female Jason Bourne and hasn't garnered the same rave reviews that "Inception" has.
The production budget of "Despicable Me" is at $70 million, and at $170 million worldwide, it's a pretty good success (unless those advertising costs were through the roof).
"Toy Story 3" is a success as well, something Disney needs after the fall of both "Prince of Persia" and "The Sorcerer's Apprentice."
The rest of the film begin the descent into DVD-land, including the new film "Ramona and Beezus." I guess Selena Gomez isn't as much of a draw as Miley Cyrus is.
What will win next weekend? Well, some weird flicks are opening in theaters, so the top spot winner is really a gamble this weekend.

Movies coming out this week!

7 The Last Airbender $7.4 M
8 Predators $6.8 M
9 Knight and Day $3.7 M
10 The Karate Kid $2.2 M
"Inception" opened on the same weekend that blockbuster "The Dark Knight" was released two years ago, and director Christopher Nolan has again scored with critics and fans by winning the weekend by a landslide.
"Despicable Me" continues to do well, earning $32 million in its 2nd week. Word of mouth will keep this cute little cartoon in the top ten for a few more weeks.
I thought "Sorcerer's Apprentice" would put in a big showing, especially for the family audience, but they weren't feeling it (especially since an animated family-friendly film is already out). Is the Disney family film dying or are people just sick of Jay Baruchel already? "Sorcerer's Apprentice" looks like it'll be running out of magic sooner rather than later. Sequel? Eh...
"Eclipse." Almost $500 million worldwide on a budget of $70 million. Have to give Summit credit for knowing how to make a profit.
Meanwhile, "Toy Story 3" has made $584 million worldwide on a $200 million budget (the film is still a success and is at least good), "Grown Ups" is still in the same spot and "The Last Airbender" tries to make more profits to warrant a sequel.
"Predators" dropped like the Dow Jones with a 73 percent decrease going from 3rd to 8th. That's around the 30th biggest drop of all time.
"Knight and Day" and "The Karate Kid" won't be in the Top Ten for much longer. Expect them on DVD and Blu-ray in the fall.
Will the brain teaser "Inception" win the Comic-Con weekend as well or will Angelina Jolie's return to action in "Salt" rule the weekend?

Inception - Dom Cobb (DiCaprio) is a thief who specializes in the art of extraction, the stealing of secrets from a target's subconscious. Though his profession cost him everything he has ever loved and has turned him into a fugitive, an offer for a final job -- one that requires him to plant an idea instead of pilfering it -- could be his chance at redemption.
The Sorcerer's Apprentice - Master sorcerer Balthazar Blake (Cage) recruits a seemingly everyday guy (Baruchel) in his mission to defend New York City from his arch-nemesis, Maxim Horvath (Molina).

"The Twilight Saga: Eclipse" didn't have as much bite as I thought it would, falling to 2nd place in its 2nd week behind "Despicable Me," which did huge box numbers at $60.1 million. "Eclipse" is now sitting at $450 million worldwide.
Coming in third with $25.3 million is "Predators." Not a huge success for the supposed reboot of the franchise, but this film will likely make back enough money to cover its budget. Will it warrant another Predator film? We'll have to wait and see...
Congrats to "Toy Story 3" for becoming the highest grossing domestic film of the year, knocking "Finding Nemo" off its throne as Pixar's top grossing film as well. The third film in the "Toy Story" franchise has made around $340 million domesitcally (as compared to "Finding Nemo" at $339 million and "Alice in Wonderland" at $334 million).
Now it just has to go for the worldwide box office title and "Nemo" will be No. 2 in the Pixar vs. Pixar box office battle. The 3D ticket prices helped "Toy Story 3" get there, but the fact that it's also one of the best films of the year helps as well. So far it's sitting at over $550 million worldwide (while "Nemo" earned $867 million worldwide).
M. Night Shyamalan's "The Last Airbender" rounded out the top 5 with $17.2 million, bringing its two-week total to $100.2 million. The movie is Shyamalan's first to break $100 million since 2004's "The Village."
The rest of the films dropped slightly as they will continue to dip in the next few weeks until they finally wind up on DVD in your local Wal-Mart or Best Buy (or any other store that sells movies).
Next weekend is a big one as "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" goes up against "Inception." Disney family film vs. Nolan's science fiction tale? Who will win?

Shockeing! “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse,” the ongoing tale of teen angst and stupidity, won the weekend and drew an estimated $161 million out of North American theaters in its first five days of release.
Box office analysts said the gross was big enough to rank “Eclipse” third on Hollywood’s all-time list of Wednesday-opening movies, behind “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen” (2009) and “Spider-Man 2” (2004), when adjusted for inflation. Summit Entertainment, the studio behind “Eclipse,” projected that the movie would sell another $20 million on Monday for a six-day domestic total of about $181 million.
Exit polls indicate that the audience for "Eclipse" was 35 percent male. The turnout for “The Twilight Saga: New Moon” was only about 20 percent male, and that was higher than the first. So does this mean more men or actually into "Twilight" or more men are dating women who are into "Twilight"?
“The Last Airbender” was greeted by an avalanche of critical hatred. Only 8 percent of the reviews gave “The Last Airbender” positive marks, according to Rotten Tomatoes (To compare, the much-maligned “Sex and the City 2” was given a score of 16 percent positive).
But “The Last Airbender” was a solid No. 2 for the weekend with about $40.7 million for a domestic total of about $53.2 million. Paramount projected that “The Last Airbender” would sell an additional $17.4 million on Monday for a five-day total of about $70.6 million.
For the weekend, “Toy Story 3” from Disney’s Pixar Animation was third with about $30.2 million for a new total of $289 million. It is projected to sell an additional $11 million on Monday.
The rest of the film slowly dripple down into DVD-land. Will "Eclipse" stand tall as Twi-tards revisit the film for the seventh time or will one of the new opening films take the weekend? We'll have to wait and see...

"Toy Story 3" beat the competition this weekend again, rising above Sandler's comedy "Grown Ups" and the Cruise-Diaz action romance "Knight and Day."
In 10 days, "Toy Story 3" has made $226.6 million. It crossed the $200 million mark in eight days. "Finding Nemo," Pixar's highest grossing animated film, took 20 days. Will "Toy Story 3" take the top spot out of all the Pixar films? Well, it stills needs around $113 million for that honor.
The competition between funny-man Sandler and action-star Cruise proved that savage reviews and goofball jokes prove better for box office success. That and maybe more parents wanted to bring their kids along to a family comedy.
Overall, this was a pretty slow weekend.Dropping below the Top 4 you see some pretty small numbers compared those top earnings. "Jonah Hex" is in the dead zone with $15 million in total after its $60 million budget. That's a pretty big slap in the face to anyone who worked on that project.
Next week you're either in line for "Eclipse," staying at home to hide from the tweens and Twilight Moms, or planning on throwing garlic and silver to those previous mentioned groups while they wait in movie theater lines. Your choice!

"Toy Story 3" had biggest debut in June history, taking in $109 million this weekend and extending Pixar's streak of opening at the top of the box office to 11.
The last film of the franchise bested its competition — and predecessors — by a mile. The original movie opened at $39.1 million in 1995, while "Toy Story 2" made $83 million four years later.
This time around, the cartoon added 3-D and Imax to the mix, boosting repeat business as kids checked out the film in different formats.
Sadly the film doesn't have the biggest opening weekend for an animated film, as that title is still held by "Shrek the Third" at $121 million.
Still the film will continue to make big bucks as it has amazing word-of-mouth. And let me tell you it really is a great film. The first thing I did when I got home after the flick was take out all my old toys from the closet that I hadn't touched in years and play with them. I know - that's weird. But the movie practically compels you to. Go see it and tell me I'm wrong.
Other films dropped a respectable amount, with only one other film opening this past weekend.
Poor "Jonah Hex." It bombed terribly. The budget has been estimated at around $60 million and the film only made $5 million its opening weekend. And it will only drop lower from there. There goes Megan Fox's career down the toilet!
Expect "Toy Story 3" to hold the top spot next weekend as well since I don't expect "Knight and Day" and "Grown Ups" beating out the kid factor.

"The Karate Kid" has won a 1980s showdown at the box office against "The A-Team."
The remake of 1984's "Karate Kid" debuted at No. 1 for the weekend while big-screen adaptation of the 1980s TV series "The A-Team" came in at No. 2 with less than half what "Karate Kid" made.
After three weekends at No. 1, "Shrek Forever After" slipped to No. 3, raising its domestic gross to $210.1 million, becoming the fourth movie released this year to top $200 million.
Other films continues to slip n' slide to DVD land. Some making modest amounts of money, some not even making back its budget. All in all, this has been a slow summer so far and might not pick up but for a few more films. Next summer is going to be a doozy though.
Expect "Toy Story 3" to dominate the weekend. I really have no idea where "Jonah Hex" is going to wind up, but it does have Megan Fox in it...

"The Karate Kid" has won a 1980s showdown at the box office against "The A-Team."
The remake of 1984's "Karate Kid" debuted at No. 1 for the weekend while big-screen adaptation of the 1980s TV series "The A-Team" came in at No. 2 with less than half what "Karate Kid" made.
After three weekends at No. 1, "Shrek Forever After" slipped to No. 3, raising its domestic gross to $210.1 million, becoming the fourth movie released this year to top $200 million.
Other films continues to slip n' slide to DVD land. Some making modest amounts of money, some not even making back its budget. All in all, this has been a slow summer so far and might not pick up but for a few more films. Next summer is going to be a doozy though.
Expect "Toy Story 3" to dominate the weekend. I really have no idea where "Jonah Hex" is going to wind up, but it does have Megan Fox in it...

'Toy Story 3' Clip
Disney/Pixar has released an official clip from their upcoming "Toy Story 3," in which our favorite toys get a short tour of their new home, Sunnyside Day-Care Center, from none other than the original, gold belt-wearing stud himself, Ken (Michael Keaton).
We also get some more footage of the center’s head honcho toy, Lots-O’-Hggin’-Bear (Ned Beatty) and a brief glance at the multi-limbed Stretch the Octopus (Whoopi Goldberg) in action.
Of course, we’ll also get to see Woody (Tom Hanks), Buzz Lightyear (Tim Allen), Jessie the Cowgirl (Joan Cusack), Hamm (John Ratzenberger), Mr. Potato Head (Don Rickles), Rex (Wallace Shawn) and more of the classic toys back on the big screen -- and in 3D no less (which should hopefully be a good thing).

'Toy Story 3' Trailer
If you made your way to the recent "Toy Story" 3-D Double Feature you have probably already seen the new trailer for "Toy Story 3," but for those of you that haven't, it has now arrived online.
"Toy Story 3" brings back Woody the cowboy and all his toy-box friends as they are dumped in a day-care center after their owner, Andy, leaves for college. Michael Keaton and Timothy Dalton are just two of the new voices added to the cast as Lee Unkrich ("Toy Story 2" and "Finding Nemo") takes over directorial duties.
Warning! The following trailer will start off by bringing back fond memories of the previous "Toy Story" films and will make you reminisce like crazy before it gets to the funny parts of the film.
And yes, that is a good thing. It adds the PIXAR touch.
The film is set to hit theaters on June 18, 2010.

Movie Trailer Mash-Ups
With the great power of technology it is a simple matter of playing with video and audio to create and mix trailers from different movies. Yes, I spend way too much time on YouTube watching these things, but they are truly awesome and funny.
Watch some of them below. If you all find them as entertaining as I do, I'll find some more to post here as well.
"Toy Story 2" meets "Requiem for a Dream"
"Beauty and the Beast" meets "Kill Bill Vol. 1"
This one isn't a mash of two movies, but instead is a different take on the classic film "Jaws." Here, the story looks like the main characters from the film love the shark.

Box Office Results and Weekly Movie News
Movies coming out this week!
Couples Retreat - Four couples settle into a tropical-island resort for a vacation. While one of the couples is there to work on their marriage, the others fail to realize that participation in the resort's therapy sessions is not optional.
Movies coming out on DVD and Blu-ray!
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
Year One
My Life in Ruins
Trick 'r Treat
Box Office results for the weekend!
1 Zombieland$25.0 M
2 Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs $16.7 M
3 Toy Story / Toy Story 2 (3-D) $12.5 M
4 The Invention of Lying$7.3 M
5 Surrogates $7.3 M
6 Capitalism: A Love Story $4.8 M
7 Whip It$4.8 M
8 Fame $4.7 M
9 The Informant! $3.8 M
10 Love Happens $2.7 M
A rated-R horror/comedy film made it to the top? Heck yeah! I love zombie films. And I love comedy films. Heck, I love "Shaun of the Dead." So will I love "Zombieland"? Most likely.
The Kid Factor also helps win out the weekend by serving "Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs" a big box office push along with the "Toy Story 3-D" double feature. You wouldn't think people would flock to see older films reformatted into a new dimension for three hours, but they will.
Drew Barrymore's directorial debut starring her and Ellen Page did not Bring It to movie theaters, and neither did Ricky Gervais' new film either (or Michael Moore's new documentary).
So what will win next weekend? Nothing really good coming out. Can we expect "Zombieland" to win two weeks in a row? We'll have to wait and see.

More 'Toy Story 3' Casting Updates
Plenty of big news has come straight from Disney's D23 Expo. Friday had a huge update regarding a new "Pirates of the Caribbean" movie. Now John Lasseter gave some more juicy casting from the showroom updates regarding "Toy Story 3." New cast members include Pixar veterans Jeff Garlin ("WALL-E") and Bonnie Hunt ("Cars," "A Bug's Life"), as well as Whoopi Goldberg making her Pixar debut, but the coolest casting tidbit is a surprise.
Along with these comedy all-stars, Lasseter confirmed that John Morris, who voiced of young Andy in the first two Toy Story films will return to reprise the role. Though he's now 24 years old, Morris will be playing Andy at age 18.
Regarding the new cast announcements, there aren't any specifics about what roles Garlin, Hunt, and Goldberg will be filling but I'm sure they'll be just as fun as the recent announcement of Timothy Dalton playing a hedgehog toy named Mr. Pricklepants. Don't forget that Michael Keaton is also voicing Ken.
With all the talent from the first two films returning and new cast members coming out of the woodwork, "Toy Story 3" promises to be a delightful flick.

Pixar Updates: 'Toy Story 3,' 'Cars 2'
Some exciting announcements were made during a London-based Disney presentation surrounding the sequel to Pixar's "Cars," while folks were also treated to a sneak peek at a sequence from next year's "Toy Story 3."During the London presentation, Pixar's John Lasseter announced that Timothy Dalton will be voicing a character named Mr. Pricklepants in "Toy Story 3." Empire tells us the character is "a hedgehog toy with thespian tendencies."
Empire also got to see some footage from "Toy Story 3" and confirmed that the storyline now involves Buzz and Woody's owner Andy leaving for college and the toys being dumped at a day care center. It appears as if the main plot will deal with the toys – led by Woody (Tom Hanks) and Buzz (Tim Allen) – trying to find a way to escape the day care center before a bunch of crazy little kids tear them apart piece by piece.
Speaking of plots, Empire also got some new story details about "Cars 2," which hits in 2011. Former producer Brad Lewis is directing the sequel, which will see Lightning McQueen (Owen Wilson), his pit team and new pit boss Mater, heading around the world for the Race of Champions, to take place in five different countries, including Japan, Germany, Italy, France and London.
In the latter city, Mater gets entangled with an Aston Martin that's of course a British secret agent (James Bond, anyone?), and that turns into a whole mistaken identity side story described as "Hitchcockian" (a la "North by Northwest"). Empire suggests that a former James Bond will most likely voice this new character. Could they convince Sean Connery to come out of retirement?
Which Pixar film are you looking forward to the most? "Cars 2" or "Toy Story 3"?

Oooo....'Toy Story' in 3-D
Pixar and Disney are re-releasing both "Toy Story" and "Toy Story 2" this October in 3-D. Both of the movies were completely re-rendered in 3-D using all of the original files and will be shown back-to-back (with a break in-between them) in theaters for just a few weeks. Yahoo has debuted the official theatrical trailer for this double feature and it's quite fun to watch (just like the teaser trailer for "Toy Story 3").
A toy named Woody has it all. He is practically the leader in Andy's toy room, Bo Peep has the hots for him, and most importantly, he is Andy's favorite toy. But when the clocks strike Andy's birthday, a new toy arrives - Buzz Lightyear, a space cadet who thinks he is a space ranger, Andy's new treasure. Thus begins an adventure and the beginning of a rivalry that turns into a friendship when Woody is kidnapped by a collector who wishes to complete his collection of toys from the classic television show "Woody's Round-Up."
Pixar's "Toy Story" and "Toy Story 2" were directed by John Lasseter back in 1995 and 1999. Disney is bringing both films to theaters together on October 2 later this year.
All the favorite characters will return June 18 next summer!

'Toy Story 3' Teaser Trailer
This is a true teaser trailer because we don't learn anything about the movie. All we get is the title. But still, the brief synopsis of "Toy Story 3" is that the toys are dropped off in a day-care center after their owner, Andy, leaves for college.
"Toy Story 3" is being directed by Lee Unkrich, another one of Pixar's creative masterminds who previously co-directed "Toy Story 2," "Monsters, Inc." and "Finding Nemo." The screenplay was written by Michael Arndt, the Oscar winning screenwriter of "Little Miss Sunshine" who is a newcomer to the Pixar family. Disney is bringing Pixar's "Toy Story 3" to theaters everywhere in digital 3D starting on June 18, 2010.

New Toy Story 3 Character
About a week ago I reported that a teddy bear character under a young girl's bed in the new Pixar film "Up" may be a new character for its next movie, "Toy Story 3."
According to Pixar Collector, "Our friends over at Pizza Planet reported recently on a possible character in 'Toy Story 3'..a nice little bear. Well, I've confirmed with three different sources close to Pixar and they all concur, he IS that new character. And we have his name. It's LOTSO."
Expect to see Lotso the Bear in Pixar's "Toy Story 3" next summer!

Toy Story 3
UGO Movie Blog just got off the phone with John Ratzenberger who said that not only has he already been recording his lines for "Toy Story 3," but that PIXAR is going to be debuting the trailer for it before "Up."
This is exciting news because I haven't heard anything about this film for sometime.
But another interesting piece of news deals with a hidden Easter egg in "Up" that shows a new character for "Toy Story 3."
According to Worst Previews, "Pixar loves to hide little Easter eggs inside their movies, usually with characters that will appear in future projects and are not yet known to the audience. An example of this is in 'Monsters, Inc,' where the little girl (Boo) hands Sulley a bunch of toys, one of them being a fish that will eventually become Nemo from 'Finding Nemo.'
It seems that Pixar's next feature film 'Up' is no different. According to director Pete Docter, a new 'Toy Story 3' character is hidden in one of the scenes.
'We're showing a character from 'Toy Story 3' that nobody knows about,' Docter said.. 'That's somewhere in there. If you look very closely [you'll see it]. I won't tell you who it is, but I'll tell you where it is.'
He continued: 'There's a shot where a little girl is in her room and the house goes by. She's playing with her toys. She's playing with her little plane. She gets up, and she looks [out the window] – under her bed is one of the new stars of 'Toy Story 3'. You have to look close.'"
The scene happens to appear in the first teaser trailer for 'Up,' so take a look at the picture below. The only things under the bed are a teddy bear and a pair of slippers. It might be the teddy bear, but it's not quite under the bed.
